CASH-CARRIER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 374,683, dated December`13,

Application filed January 2S, 1837. Serial No. 225,828. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. Kommun, a citizen ofthe United States,residing at Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented an Improvement in Cash- Oarriers, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a cash-carrying apparatus, and is more particularly related to the manner of imparting motion to the carriage.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l shows a side view of part of my propelling device and the frame supporting the same Fig. 2 is a side view of the carriage, 'also showing one end of cylinder and flanges. Fig. 3 is an end view of the carriage.

Having reference to the figures and lettered part of drawings, A is -a suspension-rod, the upper end of which is securely fastened to the ceiling, with the lower end fastened into frame A'.

B is a double conical pulley set upon a shaft, the ends of which revolve in suitable journals.

D is a shaft having spiral flanges d set upon a surface and extending from one end along two-thirds more or less) of the length of shaft, which is secured in frame A', and revolves in journals a, and having pulley B' at a point suitably situated between the journals a.

B' is a pulley set upon shaft D, to which is permanentlyfixed one endofstrap C. The other end of strap C is fastened to pulley B by a pin or screw, g. C' is another strap or band, the upper end of which is fastened to the opx IO B. To the lower end of the same is fastened handle E. F isa guide-rod fastened to the frame at f,

#Land is sharpened at one end.

` J is a hollow cylinder, which is suspended from the wire or rod O by means of pulley M, to which it is fastened by screws m.

From the inner surface, and at each end of ame, are set two beveled flanges, N, being in ine with one another and opposite each other,

d having the bevel of each slanting in oppoite directions.

On the upper and outer surface of J are Astened guides L, provided with rubber or posite side of the apex of the conical pulleyl other sui-table cushions, Z, to overcome inertia, and also provided with suitable holes to allow of the free passage of the wire O. K is also another lguide fastened to the upper and outer surface of J, and near the center of saine, w1th its upper part shaped into a hollow cylinder, K'. The ends of the said hollow cylinder are beveled, as shown by dotted lines k, so as to more readily engage the pointed end of rod F.- K is also provided with a suitable hole so situated as to allow of the free and easy passage of the wire O.

G is a case, which is firmly fastened at its upper end to the lower outer surface of cylinder J by means ofscrews, and provided on the inner surface with suitable notches to engage the springs I.

H is the cash-box, provided with two or more springs I, and fits easily into the case G, and is held in place by means of springs I, as described.

At each end of wire O is the frame A', pro'- vided with screw D', rod F, pulleys B and B', with attachments situated as before described.

To operate my device, -we will suppose the carriage to be at rest-that is to say, the cylinder J is pierced by the screw D' and K' :is pierced by the rodF. The hand of the opcrator is laid upon E, and gives the same a downward pull. This revolves pulleys B and B' by means of straps C and C', so 'as to give 'the shaft D and screw D' a rotary motion. The

spiral flanges d engage flanges N, the result of which is to throw. the cylinder J forward and off of the screw D' and rod F by means of the centrifugal force thereby imparted.

What'I claim as new, and desire to obtain Letters Patent for, isy l. In a cash-carrier, a device lfor imparting motion, a shaft, D, having spiral flanges dset upon the surface of the same, so as to form screw D', and provided with pulley B', and journaled upon frame A' at a, in combination with straps C C' anddouble conical pulley B, all fastened, supported, and operated as shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.

2. In a cash-carrying carriage, the hollow cylinder J, provided at each end with two flanges, N, set opposite each other and in line with one another, the flanges being beveled,

ICO

as shown and described, all combined for the purpose herein fully set forth.

3. In a cash-earrying apparatus, the screw D' upon shaft; D, provided with pulley B',

5 and strap C, fastened, as shown, to the coneal pulley B, and strap Gand rod F, in combination with the carriage having cylinder J, provided with flanges N, pulleys M, and wire or rod O, as shown and described, and for the purpose seb forth.
